Steven Konkoly's Black Flagged series follows Daniel Petrovich, a covert operative from the DOD's discontinued Black Flag program — a man trained to operate entirely in the shadows. Grounded, plausible, and relentlessly paced. One of the most underrated thriller series in the genre.
Book 1 of the new Garrett Mann series. A former special operations officer operating in the grey zone between sanctioned and unsanctioned missions — Konkoly returns to the contemporary military thriller.
Read the main six novels in order. The novella Inception is a prequel and can be read before Alpha or after the main series. Covenant works best after Alpha.
